The father of the male protagonist in the foreign film "The Weather Forecaster" has a classic reminder to his children: "There is no such thing as easy in adult life."
This is life advice from a person with profound experience. Don’t think that you are the only one who has a difficult life, don’t think that you are the only one who is shouldering important responsibilities, and don’t think that everyone else has it easy, it’s not easy for anyone!
After understanding this truth, we have no reason not to bravely shoulder our responsibilities, no reason to avoid difficulties, and no reason not to make contributions.
If you don’t set a general goal for your life, it will be impossible to arrange your every day life in an orderly manner, and it will be impossible to make your life progress step by step. Just like a person learning to paint, if he doesn't know what he wants to paint, what's the use of preparing him so many bright paints? Just like a ship on the sea, if it is not determined which port it is sailing to, it will be in vain no matter how favorable the wind direction is for navigation.
I feel more and more the joy and pride of a person moving sonorously between heaven and earth. There used to be a lot of noisy voices, kind reminders or malicious sarcasm, but now, those voices can no longer be heard. Those people are definitely still there, but they still stay at the starting point where I used to be, and I have reached a distant place.
I am full of religious devotion to my career. I believe that truly outstanding works, whether they are literary works, calligraphy, painting, music and art, should be youthful, should be an enjoyment of beauty, should be inspiring, and should be sacred and noble, not unconventional, let alone ugly. Grotesque deformities. No matter what type of art, if you are labeled as a "player", no matter how "experienced" you play, you will eventually lose yourself.
There are always many people trying to find out a password. I said, I am just walking in one direction all my life, breaking through myself every day, and not repeating yesterday every day, so I am far away from the starting point. Getting further and further away. I also know that most people in this world do almost the same thing every day. Although they work hard every day, they all copy themselves without any difference, so they end up stuck in the same place.
Many people, especially those who write poetry, often talk about pain. In fact, pain is synonymous with hesitation, cowardice, and weakness. The so-called painful determination means that once you make up your mind and move forward without hesitation, there will be no more pain. No one understands you, which is not worth stopping, because the people who understand you are at the intersection ahead. Once you get there, you will see the sky full of stars.
“If a man has thousands of books, why should he pretend to be in the south or north?” A true thinker is the master of his own happiness, because he himself is an empire.
To understand a person, you don’t necessarily have to observe him personally, just look at the friends he has made. This is what the ancients said, "Knowing people comes from making friends." There are always several good friends in a person's life, who help each other in life, influence each other's temperament, and exchange ideas with each other. In a small place or a class, there are often many talented people and bright stars. It is not because people in this place or class are smarter than people in another place, but because people in this specific environment gather together, strengthen each other, influence each other and Inspiring results.
Zeng Guofan once lamented: "Having no friends in the countryside is the first thing I hate." Xunzi said: "When you live, you must choose a hometown, and when you travel, you must choose people nearby." It can be seen that the ancients had a deep understanding of making friends.
"The Book of Songs" says: "Listen to the sound of its song, and look for the voice of its friends." If you choose good people and make friends with them, think about them when you see them, and be influenced by them, you will naturally gradually become a sage.
When you are walking on the sunny road with excitement, pursuing your favorite career, and enjoying sincere friendship, nothing can make life a heavy burden for you.
